The innate immunity system detects viral pathogens by sensing viral DNA or RNA via distinct pathways, but whether these pathways cross-regulate is unclear. Here the authors show that TRAF3, a known regulator of the RNA-sensing pathway, modulates an NF-κB activator NIK to control DNA-sensing by the adaptor STING in immune cells.
